Rose Climbing Collection

Climbing Roses

OUT OF STOCK

Bring a fairytale look or romantic feel to your archways, fences and trellises all through summer, with this magical collection of six climbing roses. Includes one each of Iceberg (white), Compassion (peach), Golden Showers (yellow), Waltz Time (silv ery mauve), Zephirine Drouhin (pale pink) and Danse de Feu (red). There is nothing more whimsical than a climbing rose adorned with colourful blooms and a lingering perfume decorating the wall of a house or gracing a trellis, arch or pergola. Cli mbers are easy to grow and reward us with height, colour and sweet fragrance. Climbers will repeat flower, providing blooms in summer and again in autumn. Suited to modern gardens and more traditional cottage gardens, the climbing rose is versatil e and can brighten up any space. 2 year old bare rooted plants supplied.

Prune in the Autumn time and then only sparsely, removing unrequired growing tips. Do not prune for two years after planting.

Planting

Plant in a hole large enough to take the roots when fully outspread.

Soil Type

Fertile, humus rich and well drained soil

Pruning

Prune in the Autumn time and then only sparsely, removing unrequired growing tips. Do not prune for two years after planting.

It is best to plant roses in winter or early spring, provided there is little frost. To plant, dig a hole large enough to take the roots when fully outspread. Distribute the roots evenly around the hole and put in a little fine soil to which has been added a small amount of bonemeal. Fill in a further 5cm of ordinary soil over the roots and tread in firmly. Generally speaking the depth of planting roses will vary between 10-20cm, but examination of the plants should let you know quite clearly the depth to plant.

It is vital that roses are planted firmly, to ensure that winds will not damage or disrupt the roots. Apply a balanced fertiliser every 3-4 weeks in the spring/summer and it is also recommended that you apply a mulch in the winter for protection. Can be pruned back to remove any dead wood or growth.
